FOREWORD

This last issue of the Collegiate represents a radical depar-
ture from the standard policy of publishing a College Annual
by the Senior Class at the end of each year. This has been
found too expensive for the average small college, and for this
reason, we are attempting to give the students of Atlantic
Christian College a publication that will fulfill the require-
ments of and the desire for such a publication without the un-
reasonable expense usually attached.

We admit the imperfections and defects of this edition, but
we trust that because this is an experiment undertaken by an
inexperienced staff, these defects will be overlooked by a sym-
pathetic public that knows the trials of a college staff that
must depend upon inadequate knowledge and material for its
success. If this adventure proves even a partial success, we
hope to carry the idea further and believe that in doing so we
may make a worthwhile contribution to the small college pub-
lication system. We gratefully acknowledge the cooperation
of those faithful and spirited individuals who have given their
services so freely that the Collegiate might be a success.

The Editor.

birth. In the near future A. C. C. will be the
leading Liberal Arts College east of Raleigh. On
this page is the architect's drawing of the cam-
pus which is already under construction. This
forty-two acre plot will furnish one of the
beautiful and spacious sites for a college
anywhere in the country. The first unit
of buildings is under construction as the
first step in the program of making
A. C. C. a great college. Our program
may seem small when compared with
Chapel Hill but when we consider
that our state university is being
built out of tax money furnished
by the entire state, and our new
college will be built and main-
tained bv the sacrificial giving
of 25,000 Disciples, we see
the enormity of our task.

the four periods
of the history of
Atlantic Christian
College. The peri-
ods of the beginning
of the institution of
the slow constructive
growth, and of the
rapid expansion have
passed, and we have now
entered upon the fourth pe-
riod. This period is and will
be characterized by a new
birth. The college was estab-
lished to furnish educational op-
portunities for the youth of the
Disciples of Christ and to train min-
isters for our churches. In this re
spect it has been a marked success.
Graduates of this college now hold
many of the important pulpits of the
south, and many younger men who have
recently left and are now in training give
promise to become the leading ministers of
the Disciples. But during this period, an-
other problem arose. Less than half the stu
dent body enrolled last year came from Disci
pie homes. This means that not only our own
people, but all eastern North Carolina is looking
to A. C. C. as the leading college. Because of this

will have a trium-

CLASSES

Senior Class

As we come to the end of one point in our life which marks the completion of our
schooldays we look back over the past and realize that we are no longer children,
that the day has come when "we put away childish things."

We treasure the past and dream into the future. The success of a voyage depends
partly upon the manner in which we launch off, and we feel that our embarking
upon this voyage of life is conducive to a successful trip, as we crown the efforts of
our past with an A. B. degree.

The past four years of our life has been the scene of many great changes. Our
environment and our study has led us to think for ourselves, so much so, that we
feel competent to enter into this new section of our life.

.We wonder now what the future holds in store for us. We believe that our train-
ing at A. C. C. will hold and pilot us through, but we fully realize that life is what
we make it, that we are living in a dynamic age, one of evolution and revolution
and that to march with the tide we. must adjust ourselves to the environment and
take our place in line either near the front or the back.

As we look upon life in its newer aspect it is clearly seen that the world will soon
be in the hands of the younger generation, the college graduate. The day has come
when an A. B. degree is just as essential to a happy and successful life as was the
high school course a few years back. Even now we see the young graduate taking
his place among the leaders of the world in every phase of life, and as we see this
our hopes and beliefs for the future are strengthened.

In the days to come, while we are struggling with the many problems of life we will
be able to look back to A. C. C. and find many solutions for these problems.
A. C, C. will be a guiding light. Our purpose here was not to prepare for a profes-
sion but to complete for life the foundation that was begun at home. We can now
say that we know in the words of Longfellow:

"Life is real, life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art to dust returneth
Was not spoken of the soul."

Junior Class

Colors: Pink and White Flowers: Pink and White Roses

Aim: To Graduate Motto: Love — Labor — Laugh.

Officers: President Needham Bryan

Vice-President James Denny

Secretary Eloise Grady

There is no word quite so pleasant to the ear of a Junior as that of "Junior." It
means that much of the road of toil has been passed and that there still remains
another year to "Love, Labor and Laugh." There is not that rather sad feeling of
"this is the last year of college life" — and the titles "Fresh" and "Soph" have been
successfully lived down. Indeed, there is no place in college student ranking as de-
sirable as that of Junior.

The Junior Class of 1929-30 is made up of a majority of town students. In fact,
there is a greater number of outside students in this class than any other in college.
So, it stands to reason, with these people bringing in all the news of the outside
world, that we have the best informed class in college.

Again the Junior class is unusual in that it chose a motto that can be realized —
not one to be laughed at as impossible. "Love, Labor and Laugh." The first and
last words of the motto need no comment. Eyes and ears tell us that the Junior is
very much accomplished along both lines. In regard to the Labor one finds on ex-
amining the records of the Juniors that their grades make a satisfactory average.

The only fault to be found with the Junior class of 1929-30 is that next year it
will be the Senior class.

The class of '31 began its four years of hard labor in the fall of 1927. Enthus-
iastic and eager for knowledge, they fell to it with a vim and spirit which was un-
beatable. Today with two years of their allotted four gone by, their spirit is still
raring to go, and, like Alexander of old, they are longing for new worlds to conquer.
Whereupon one of the present Juniors arises and makes the announcement that con- '
quering the Junior course is a job that would make even the doughty Alexander a
bit uncertain of his mighty powers. But what price that? What class with the
personnel of ours could doubt the success of such an undertaking? It is with a light
heart and a confident air that we face the future. Perhaps we are due disappoint-
ments and failures, perhaps we will have regrets and cares, but even so it is with a
cheerful smile that we turn to the third lap of our journey, leaving behind us only
pleasant memories of our first two years.

The fall of 1928-29 brought to Atlantic Christian College about seventy five fresh-
men representing eight states. In them the college has good reason to place high
hopes and expectations. Of course, their first year does not show great results from
the class itself as a unit, but in every organization on the campus the list of leading
members will contain freshmen. It contains talented individuals who will soon be-
come leaders in college and active citizens. When the potentialities of this promis-
ing group are developed, who can tell what awaits the people in leaders and good
citizens from this year's Freshman class?

One of the greatest steps in the betterment
campus was the organizing of the Student Ass
step toward such an organization was made by
interested in the honor system. Immediately
having complete responsibility of its officers w
the association is to "promote closer cooperati
all matters pertaining to the welfare of the sch
a greater sense of responsibility and a finer
honor system; and to encourage and train for

of student life on the A. C. College
ociation. In November, 1927, the first
the Y. M. C. A., which was particularly
the student body became interested in
lich the faculty granted. The purpose of
on between faculty and student body in
ool; to develop within the student body
ollege spirit; to make efficient the
more democratic living."

The first president of the association was J. Park Nunn, who efficiently led it dur-
ing its first trying days. The students from the beginning have realized the privi-
leges and responsibilites of having such an organization.

The present year is the first full one. During this time the Student Association
has grown from an organization functioning only by the Honor Code to one that is
foremost in every student activity. Through the efforts of its officers it has taken
a broader outlook and now sponsors all activity that is not handled by other groups.

Many hard problems have come up for the president, Thad Cherry, to solve, but
all Tiave been handled firmly and with fairness. The other officers are, Vice Presi-
dent, Monroe Fulghum; Secretary, Virginia Payne; Assistant Sec, Jane Daugherty.
The council is composed of J. Walton Thompson from the Senior Class, James Denny
from the Junion Class, Lottie Carawan from the Sophomore Class and Traver Farmer
from the Freshman Class, Hilary Bowen from the Y. M. C. A., and Inez Barefoot
from the Y. W. C. A.

Recently the constitution was revised and made broader in its outlook. There is
now a bright prospect lor a successful future.

The Y. W. C. A. of Atlantic Christian College has enjoyed a most suc-
cessful year. The programs, under the directorship of Miss Virginia
Payne, have been very interesting and helpful. The Y. W. was divided
into four groups, each group being responsible' for one program a
month. The group leaders Miss Doris Barefoot and Miss Ruth Manning,
have shown themselves capable leaders.

Each month the Y. W. discussed a different subject. Such subjects
as Service, Heroes, Nature, Music, Character Building, Appreciation of
Mother, have found a place in the discussion of the group.

For the first time in the history of the Y. W. in A. C. C. the organiza-
tion sponsored the Big Sister plan for Freshmen with a great deal of
success. It is the plan to continue the work next year.

On Sunday, May 19, 1929 the Y. ,W. C. A. held its Installation service
for the new Cabinet. The service was short, but impressive. The
"Candlelight Service," during which the old cabinet lighted the candles
of the new cabinet, lent to the occasion an atmosphere of solemnity.

The cabinets are as follows:

THE RETIRING CABINET:

President — Janet Daugherty
Vice-President — Lottie Carawan
Secretary — Myra Selby.
Treasurer — Irene Harrison.
Program Committee — Virginia Payne

THE INCOMING CABINET:

President — Virginia Payne.
Vice-President — Clara Bass.
Secretary — Rachel Rogerson.
Treasurer — Doris Barefoot.

Treasurer Mr. J. W. Shockley

Assistant Treasurer James Denny

The other cabinet members are Bill Wiegman, Clyde Braden.

Among the many organizations on the Atlantic Christian College campus none are
more important in their influence than the Y.M.C.A. This organization has to a great
extent, carried out its purpose, but, of course, as there always will be, much re-
mains to be done. These aims are:

To lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ,

To lead them into membership and service in the Christian Church,

To promote their growth in Christian Faith, especially through the study of the
Bible and prayer, and

To influence them to devote themeslves in united effort with all Christians to
making the will of Christ effective in human society, and to extending the Kingdom
of God throughout the world.

In carrying out this work the officers and cabinet members have done a great deal.

Through the consecrated and tireless efforts of the cabinet, at least four boys will
be sent to the Blue Ridge Conference for the ten day session of June 14-24. This
training and inspiration will mean much not only in the lives of the individual boys,
but in the group life of the Y. M. C. A. next year.

The Fellowship is a group of students composed primarily of those who will give their lives
for full time Christian service, and others wishing' to fellowship with them. To know what it is, con-
sider the words of our president, Mr. Hilley, "The Fellowship is the nucleus of the institution." It is
the only religious organization open to the entire student body.

Beyond the fellowship of students and communion of our spirits with the Eternal Spirit, the
Fellowship extends its influence to the by-ways and hedges of the state and to all humanity. The
aims of our group may best be seen in the work it is doing.

The Fellowship is sharing in the great Pentecostal Program. It takes as its share the enlist-
ment of twelve new workers for full time Christian service, the supplying of seventy-five pulpits in
North Carolina by students and faculty, and helping other students to see the need of taking an active
part in the religious program when they return to their community.

Many know that the Fellowship extended its influence widely last year. A few trips have been
made this year to Wilmington Christian Church, Dudley, Saratoga and Stantonsburg, The Fellow-
ship conducted a meeting at Wilson Mills. Thirteen of the group- took an active part in the Bervicea.

Society Debaters: Virginia Payne and Bill Weigmann.

As we come to the end of this year and we think of the work we have done, we look back with
a smile and say well done, good and faithful servants. The Alethians have really put themselves in-
to their work this year with plenty of enthusiasm, vivacity, and vim. There has been no sign of
quitters and we feel proud of this fact. It is one sign worthy of mention in any organization.

The programs at each meeting this year have been exceptionally good, for they have shown
both talent and work on the part of the program committee and the members participating. We
were very fortunate to have many of the most talented students on the campus in our society who
appear on the programs at different times. We have had cooperation on every side and we hope to
prove this to outsiders by receiving the program cup which we have won the past several years.

Then surely everyone remembers the annual debate which we won again this year,
success this year points to even a more successful year in 1929-30.

The art of dramatics is being firmly imbedded in the minds and interest of Atlantic Christian
College Students. The social and cultural values that accrue from dramatics are no longer looked upon
lightly but happy is he who possesses these values. This new and stronger interest in this old field
of interest may rightly be attributed to the work' of the Dramatic Club. Starting with a limited but
select membership the club set as its goal he greatest year in its history. Because of the fact that
we have not staged a great number of plays it need not be inferred that we have failed. To the con-
trary, we have succeeded in a large way. This was more fully appreciated by those who saw the
final play of the season in which our new stage scenery was used. For the first time we have a com-
plete set of stage scenery that would be looked upon with envy by the dramatic clubs of some of the
larger schools. This represented much expenditure of both time and money and we feel that it will
remain as a monument to the work of the club for this year.

During the spring there were presented on two occasions two one act plays which were received
with much enthusiasm. The first to be given "Hearts" made such a hit that when the second.
"Thursday Evening" was presented the seating capacity was insufficient and many were turned away
for lack of room.

In addition to these there was our annual commencement play, "Come Out of the Kitchen,"
which was presented on May 30. This play was the final program of the year and the contribution
of the elub to the commencement exercises of the college. As usual it was a howling success both
from the standpoint of acting and attendance.

The purpose of this organization shall be to develop and make effective the personalities of its
members, to promote a closer fellow feeling among those who are students in the department of Edu-
cation, to cultivate a higher degree of appreciation of teaching as a profession by encouraging more
thorough preparation and by the acceptance of high ethical standards; and to discuss educational
problems which shall be of interest to all good citizens and especially those who are preparing to teach.

Our programs have been interesting as well as instructive. We have members and visitors as
speakers as well as the social activities including the annual picnic given by Mr. Grim who is our
faculty advisor and originator of the club.

Some of out outside speakers during the first semester were Su.pt. Curtis who spoke on "Edu-
cation and International Good Will," and Pres. Hilley who told us "How to Get a Job and Hold It."
A special program, was given to carry out Education Week with talks on School and Community,
School and Home, Character Building in Teachers, Teachers' Debt to the Community, and Why I Chose
Teaching as a Profession by student members. At the close of the first semester an entertainment
afforded a pleasant close of the work.

The second 'semester began with a round table discussion of the Ideal Teacher. On other pro-
grams Mrs. Lucas spoke on "City of Vatican." and "World Beauties" ; Miss Daphne Carraway on
"Outside Activities, of the School such as Junior Red Cross" followed by a dramatization "Epandinon-
das" by Lois and Dorothy Lee. Mr. Hamlin gave us the "Educational Ideal of Washington and Jef-
ferson." At the next meeting Mr, Barclay talked en "Characteristics of a Good Teacher." "Classifi-
cation of Pupils" was given by Mr. Green. After each of these programs we had open discussion
which have been enlightening and enriching. Every member of the club feels that he and she have
been fully repaid by attending the Education Club this year and in the future we hope that every stu-
dent of Atlantic Christian College will take advantage of the opportunity of being an active member
of our club.

The Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Frank R. Hufty has enjoyed a season of
successful musical programs receiving many commendable remarks from their audi-
ences and a feeling of individual gratification that their efforts were successful. The
club was evenly balanced with nine sopranos, seven second sopranos and five con-
traltos. The soloists were Mrs. Jack Barnes, Miss Frances Manning, sopranos, Miss
Hattie Mae Ricks, contralto. Much of the success of the Glee Club was due to the
ability of their accompanists Miss Virginia B. Hufty and Miss Nannie Smith. The
most pretentious of the club programs was the "Garden of Flowers" by Denza.

The Phi Sigma Tau Sorority is the oldest Greek Letter organiza-
tion on the campus. It was founded in the spring of 1913. Susie Grey
Woodard, who later became Mrs. Luther Tomlinson initiated the move-
ment, and she was elected its first President. The first annual banquet
was held that spring, with only the eight charter members and the three
taken in present. We now have seventy members. The seventeenth
annual banquet was held this year at the Briggs Hotel, Saturday night,
May eighteenth. It is the custom of the sorority to entertain the Sigma
Tau Chi Sorority at a picnic each year and to have an annual banquet,
each member inviting her own guest.

We feel, in presenting the Sigma Alpha Fraternity to those who do not
know them quite as well as they should, much like P. T. Barnum, whose
rotund breast surely must have swelled with pride as he read the billboard
advertisements of his famous aggregation in which he modestly announced
his show as "The Greatest Show on Earth, a Galaxy of Scintillating World-
Wonders Brought from the Four Corners of the Globe at Phenomenal Ex-
pense."

For these men we are about to introduce are campus-renowned, and,
although all of them are native Americans, many of them have wandered
into the four corners of these United States and back again, bringing with
them intellectual treasures, and tales of travel picked up here and there at
random, which thy bestow with reckless abandon upon their Fraternity
Brothers.

The Greek-Letter Societies of Atlantic Christian College are undoubted-
ly the greatest social and economic influence in the student body of the
college. The extent to which they provide for the material and social wel-
fare of the students is, perhaps, not sufficiently well understood, nor is
there generally an appreciation of the extent to which the students have
gone in providing for their own needs. It may be of general interest,
therefore, to present some of the facts concerning one of these societies,
with some accounts of its establishment and activities.

Sigma Alpha Fraternity of Atlantic Christian College was established in
the year of 1925 by twelve regular matriculated students of the College, in
an effort to revive the national organiaztion of the same name which ex-
isted at a majority of the colleges in Virginia and various universities
throughout the country.

At the present time Sigma Alpha Fraternity maintains a well-equipped
Fraternity House at 60 2 W. Gold Street. A House Committee is respon-
sible for the enforcement of rules and regulations governing the use of the
House. Good order is maintained without difficulty. Infractions of rules
are infrequent, of a minor character, and are usually punished by the im-
position of a fine.

The practical advantages to a student of a house furnished, organized,
and administered entirely in his interest are obvious. In no way can his
material needs be more satisfactorily met as regards entertainment, hous-
ing, and conditions under which to pursue his studies. They profit by
contact with each other and by participation in a community enterprise in
which each has a voice and proportionate responsibility. The self-govern-
ment of the Fraternity House tends to develop in members self-restraint
and regard for the rights of others.

Saturday-night smokers, to which alumni members and candidates
being "rushed" for the Fraternity are invited, are frequent in the autumn
and early winter. Occassionally the Fraternity blossoms forth with a
banquet. Both are successful events of their kind.

When the squad reported in September prospects seemed fairly bright,
but right at the beginning of training a jinx "grabbed" the team and
held it throughout the season. Many men were lost because of in-
juries; many of the best on the squad. The injured men were: Denby,
Fulghum, Hawkins, Bass, Howell, Weddell, and Jones. The team
went through the season winning one game and losing seven. Two of
the defeats were due directly to fumbles. The boys played great
games at times, especially against Catawba and Milligan. Four of the
squad were seniors and will be lost next year. Munn and Cherry will
be missed especially. The team was christened "Bulldogs" after the
season ended, and we are looking forward to a great season for the
"Bulldogs" next year.

Reading left to right. Back row, Jones, Mgr., Gillette, Wiggins,
Bryant, Coach Anthony. Second row, Uzzle, Bailey, Banks, Bissette.
Front row, Fulghum, Captain Brinkley. and Munn.

The basketball season was a success. Fulghum ran wild at forward
and was one of the highest, if not the highest, scorers in the state for
the season. Bailey was a tower of strength at center. Munn and Bis-
sette were able helpers for Fulghum at forward. Uzzle played a great
defensive game and was ably assisted by Captain Brinkley and Banks,
The team will be hard hit this year by the loss of Brinkley, Bailey, Ful-
ghum, and Munn. All the above named men except Bailey have
served their quota of years. Following is a brief summary of the team
and the season: The team played sixteen games, winning nine and
losing seven. The percentage placed them well up in the standing of
the "Little Six" Conference. High Point College was the only team to
defeat the Christians more than once, the Purple Panthers turning the
trick twice. The players on the team were pretty accurate at hitting
the hoops and scored in this manner: Fulghum 206 points, Munn 94
points, Bailey 79 points, Brinkley 66 points, Bissette 40 points, and Uz-
zle 37 points. The team total for the season was 535 points.

Visions created by the imagination pre-
cede the achievement of any really great
accomplishment. The ability to weave
the threads of imagination into the finish- |

ed fabric is equally important. i

It has been the privilege of the ED-
WARDS & BROUGHTON COMPANY to
interpret the ideas of the Staff and create (

in material form their vision. I

From the art work and engravings to the {

finished book, this volume is the result of
organized cooperation with the Staff.

Such able cooperation is one of the "vis-
ions" which precede the building of a suc-
cessful business, and is a part of the work-
ing policy of the EDWARDS & BROUGH-
TON COMPANY.

To those Staffs desiring complete coop-
eration from art work and engravings to
the finished book, we offer unexcelled ser-
vice. Complete service means undivided
responsibility as to the result — one organ-
ization to correspond and talk with — one
trained director to merge the many ingre-
dients into the finished product.

You, too, may be proud of your annual.

Correspondence is Invited.
